Russell Wilson was told he wasn't going to be NC State's starting QB ... he shared snaps his final year at NC State ... prompting him to leave. No such issue/problem for 2AM.

Another team and another part of the country? Risk not being the starting QB, walking into an entirely new situation, unfamiliar offense/coaches/teammates ... unless that team is an NC contender ... why would he do that and bluntly if you're an NC contender they've got guys just as good already on the team vying for that starting position.
Try another position? Same issues as above if going to another team. Good of a chance as any doing that at NU. Caveat being that HCSF would accept this and be all in on this move.
NFL waters? Sure, go through the evaluation process ... that can be done without leaving school. In fact he'd probably be dumb NOT to do that because at least he'd get good feedback from NFL evaluators. But serious question, do you really think he'd get a good enough evaluation to do leave for this year's draft?
Done with football? Truthfully that is the most plausible option IMO. It can be a grind but again I have to think 2AM harbors NFL aspirations. Hard to walk away from that!
We're all just guessing and applying our own reasoning. It's Adrian's life and his decision. It won't necessarily have to make sense to us. To be certain, not every decision a football player has made seemed logical to the fan base.
I won't begin to analyze what I feel is best for Adrian or makes the most sense. As I said, I won't be surprised with whatever route he does choose -- nor will I be disappointed if it's not at Nebraska next season. It's his life, and he's given us plenty already.
Why do All Stars in the NBA go where they may have less spotlight but a chance to win championships? Winning and the glory that comes with it is still a big deal and drives most competitors. If there is a team out there that is just missing a QB, he or that team might consider the option. I would suggest that Martinez is much more respected around the league and around college football than he is in Nebraska. No doubt some mistakes in crunch time have hurt us but facts are he and almost he alone has kept us in many games and the constant pressure of needing to be the man could lead to some of that. You put him on a team with a stronger supporting cast and who knows.
If he decides to he will get drafted.
Many quarterbacks are in the same predicament.
This is one crazy thread. It's really too bad that some think they know better than a player what he should do. All I can say is I hope he comes back. I love the kid, I love his fire, I love his compassion for his teammates and his coaches. He's a great role model to the younger kids in this state. I also can't understand all those folks that think Frost will be gone at the end of the year. All I asked for this year was that we get better, and we have done that every week. It will eventually pay off.
Not so fast with Clemson..
Nominated for worst post of the year.
My hope would be he had a feeling of potential greatness for next year and feels like there is "unfinished business".
Yeah, just like there's no guarantee ANY of us will be here next year.
Seconded
If I had to venture as a best guess, he is staying put. Why? He does enough things well to get drafted, likely in the 5-7 rounds. He is too slow in the delivery, looks down receivers in a system he has been in for 4 years, and his speed is awesome for college but not fast enough for the pros. Also, his durability is a huge question for the NFL.
Now lets just say he stays and has a great year next year, possibly is even part of the heisman conversation. This changes the way he is graded because even with all the metrics, a level of subjectivity goes into what is objective. He would then likely go as a third or fourth round pick, possibly higher.

And you would have given him your neighbors address.
